A Great and Unique Experience All Around - Such an amazing tour! A great way to learn new things about Tokyo if you've already seen the main attractions. The host was really knowledgeable since she has thoroughly researched the topic for her thesis. If you are ready to look at Japan from a non-standard point of view, this tour is a must

Dark Secrets, Brilliant Storytelling: A Must-Do Kabukicho Experience - I had the pleasure of joining the *Kabukicho Macabre Tour: The Real Tokyo Vice*, and right from the start, I knew it was going to be an incredible experience. Vivian, our guide, was an easy-going and fascinating character, whose passion for true crime and the stories behind it shone through every moment of the tour. This particular tour included Japanese guests, which I really appreciated as it gave me the chance to understand their perspectives as well. Vivian switched effortlessly between languages, making sure everyone felt included. She clearly loved engaging with the group and answered every question with impressive detail, enthusiasm, and insights that only someone with her level of extensive research could provide. Even though the theme was dark, when the tour ended, I found myself wishing it could go on for hours longer—her storytelling was that captivating. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in true crime, Tokyo Vice, or those curious about what really goes on behind the polished facade of Kabukicho. An absolute must-do!

Great experience except... - Great experience except for the end, the guide left us in a dark shrine, just said goodbye and walked away we had no idea where we were, where the train station was or anything.
